As far as I am concerned, each and every person can add value to this forum. I for one do not yet know everything there is to know about anything, and all knowledge is of value.

I am involved on a number of forums, and this is by far the friendliest. I for one would like to keep it that way? I have also learnt that it is exceptionally easy to give offence in writing, where even a telephone conversation with almost exactly the same words would not have caused the same reaction,perhaps because in print it is very difficult to read inflection and tone of voice is inaccessible?

Thus I do not think anybody should see this incident as a damper on their right to communicate (or on their status as a valued member of this community), because in a community this large and diverse, the odd misunderstanding or difference of opinion is unavoidable. When that happens, may I ask that we do not get personal or attacking on the forum, but rather take it up via private messages?

Frans, this is just an idea, I don't actually know. But perhaps the NADS moniker is flawed in that it doesn't target detonation in the standard sense, where Diesel does but Petrol shouldn't, but instead targets detonation of the "handgrenade failure"?
